Integrations — Remind CLI

01

Shell Aliases

Add these to your .bashrc, .zshrc, or shell config. Two-character commands for everything you do daily.

Works with bash, zsh, fish, and any POSIX-compatible shell.

~/.zshrc

# Remind shortcuts

alias ra='remind add'

alias rl='remind list'

alias rd='remind done'

alias rs='remind search'

02

Cron Jobs

Schedule a daily digest of your reminders. Pipe the JSON output through jq to format it however you want -- terminal, email, Slack webhook, you name it.

Add to your crontab with crontab -e.

crontab

# Daily reminder summary at 9am

0 9 * * * remind list --json | jq '.[].text'

03

Git Hooks

Automatically create a reminder every time you check out a new branch. Never forget to review, merge, or clean up feature branches again.

Drop this into .git/hooks/post-checkout and make it executable.

.git/hooks/post-checkout

#!/bin/bash

# Auto-remind on branch checkout

remind add "Review and merge $(git branch --show-current)" \

--due "in 2 days"

04

CI/CD

Add Remind steps to your GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or any pipeline. Create reminders to verify deployments, follow up on releases, or notify your team.

Works anywhere a shell command runs.

.github/workflows/deploy.yml

steps:

- name: Deploy to production

run: make deploy

- name: Remind team about deploy

run: remind add "Verify production deploy" --priority high

05

Raycast / Alfred

Create a custom script command in Raycast or Alfred to quick-add reminders from anywhere on your Mac. Hit your hotkey, type the reminder, and you are done -- without opening a terminal.

In Raycast, create a Script Command. In Alfred, create a Workflow with a keyword trigger and a "Run Script" action.

remind-add.sh (Raycast Script Command)

#!/bin/bash

# @raycast.schemaVersion 1

# @raycast.title Add Reminder

# @raycast.argument1 { "type": "text", "placeholder": "reminder" }

remind add "$1"

echo "Reminder added."

06

Piping and Scripting

Remind's --json flag outputs structured data you can pipe into any tool. Filter overdue items, count by priority, build dashboards -- the Unix way.

Combine with jq, awk, grep, or any language you prefer.

remind -- zsh

# Get overdue reminders

~ remind list --json | jq '[.[] | select(.due_at < now)]'

# Count by priority

~ remind list --json | jq \

'group_by(.priority) | map({(.[0].priority): length})'

# Export to CSV

~ remind list --json | jq -r \

'.[] | [.id, .text, .due_at, .priority] | @csv'
